Summary

Loki has been isolating himself from the family and Thor is asked to speak with him. Loki could just be behaving like his normal, anti-social self... but more troubling matters seem to be plaguing him. What are they? (Takes place during the events of 'Thor'.)

Summary

Asgard's in trouble and Loki holds all the cards-even if he doesn't know it. Midgard and Asgard just want Loki to suffer for his many many alleged crimes. Thor just wants his brother and Jane to be happy and in Asgard's (and it's King's) good graces. Jane just wants a decent way to power her lab on Asgard and you know, survive the whole, 'meet my boyfriend's super powerful parents thing'. Darcy just wants to enjoy the food and make snarky comments. Funny how no one seems to get what they want.

Summary

He was exhausted, tired enough not to realize anything was out of place at first. Dark room, cool sheets, warm body. It seemed natural to fit himself against his partner’s sleeping form, to pull them closer, his hand fitted to their naked hip. They sighed, on the edge of waking, and he made a soft noise: don’t bother, it’s just me.

The cagey feeling in his chest settled. It felt right to be here.

Then Peter remembered he wasn’t seeing anyone, definitely not anyone this toned or muscled, and his eyes flew open.

Summary

Steve Rogers: soldier, artist, foodie, friend, heart of the Avengers, and a guy whose past keeps creeping into his present and dictating his future. A series of stories about him and the people he has chosen to build his life around.

A comics-MCU mashup that is MCU-compliant through all of the Phase One movies then gets a little Brubakerish because the alternative was to get a lot Jossed.

All stories can be read independently of the others. You'll miss a few references but lose nothing of the plots.

Bookmarker's Notes

The most skillful execution of Marvel fanfiction I've read to date. Better than some of the actual comics storylines due to the additional scene-setting capabilities of prose versus comics. Author's research is comparable to Mad_Lori's work...But even more so. Unparalleled authenticity in the jargon, slang and (much harder to translate into written work) ethos of modern and WWII military culture. As a devotee of the modern comics (esp. Brubaker's work), this is the single most canon-compliant depiction of Winter Soldier and Black Widow I've yet seen.

And that glowing rec is after having read only the first story, "Freezer Burn".

Summary

Warning for cross-dressing, if this isn't your thing, this fic definitely won't be. Steve discovers a secret about Bucky, and it quickly snowballs into something much bigger. Set post wake up/winter soldier.

Summary

The boy screams and Steve immediately forgets about the dangers and risks. He doesn't care about the bad guy who was trying to kill them a moment ago because he knows that voice. He'd know it anywhere.

Summary

The real people who stand in the shadow of the stories told about them don't always measure up. Sometimes, they are greater than the words people have spread. Phil Coulson doesn't put too much weight behind the stories of the Winter Soldier. All he sees is Captain America's plucky young sidekick and the one card in his collection he has yet to get signed.

Bookmarker's Notes

Dear lord. I was just looking for something long and nice. I didn't realize just what I was getting myself into. This story is so well written! The characterization for every single character is right on the dot. There are many elements not only from the movies, but also from each individual character's comic series. I was very impressed and amazed by all the details that were incorporated into this story. It flows so easily but also allows the reader to go through so much with the characters. A fantastic and amazing read that caused me to stay up all night and even miss class the next day. Stay in school kids, but also take the time to smell the roses--or in this case, read beautifully crafted fic.

Summary

Bucky tries on Toro's "uniform".Steve quirks an eyebrow and gives him a once over, the furrow between his brow growing deeper. “That’s, uh, nice? It suits you.”“See, hothead, he-”“Yanno, because you wear such a dumb uniform all the time anyway,” Steve continues, mouth twisting as he tries and fails to hold back his grin.
